"What do you want to be when you grow up?" sends the wrong message about work. We should teach kids that who you are is more than what job you do. Work is an activity—it doesn't have to define your identity. A healthy sense of self is rooted in character, not career choice.

Employers shouldn't discourage side hustles—or hesitate to hire people who have them. Data: after engaging evenings on their side gigs, people perform better the next day in their full-time jobs. Side hustles aren’t a distraction. They’re a source of energy and empowerment.

Iceland tested reducing work weeks from 40 to 36 hours at the same pay. 2,500 people in offices, hospitals, police stations over 4 years: higher well-being and work-life balance, lower stress. Across the board, productivity was sustained or increased.
